Basel IV Rules Will Arrive and Complicate Bank Lives Even Further.
New Banking Rules Will Tighten Credit Standards, according to Morgan Stanley.
According to Morgan Stanley analysts, the Fed will issue new bank capital regulations between late May and early July, which will be followed by a comment period and a final rule that will be implemented gradually between 2025 and 27.
For their US Large-Cap Banks coverage, they anticipate that the implementation of this Basel IV, often known as the 'Basel III Endgame,' will result in increased risk-weighted assets (RWAs) and capital requirements, with a focus on Global Systemically Important Banks (GSIBs).
The name 'Basel' comes from the city of Basel in Switzerland, where the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision was established in 1974.
The committee is made up of representatives from central banks and regulatory authorities from around the world, and its primary goal is to promote international financial stability by developing and promoting supervisory standards and guidelines for the banking industry.
